Hot List: This is SportsCenter. This is Awesome.
I was out to lunch with Dave and Wendy last week and pointed out a SportsCenter commercial that was playing on one of the TVs in the restaurant. It sparked a pretty entertaining conversation about how consistent the ESPN commercials have been over the past decade or so. It got me thinking that I should post a blog about the spots and highlight a few here. So here ya go, my Top 10 ‘This Is SportsCenter’ Commercials (as usual, in no particular order).
1. Y2K Test
This is one of the most memorial spots in my mind. I love Steiner at the end…”Follow me to Freedom”. Mark McGwirer smashing computers is a pretty nice touch as well. (Guess it’s not too soon to say it, but, Roid Rage?)
2. D. Patrick
Dave’s personal favorite.
3. The Complete Show
4. Betrayal
Great spot that highlights the Yankees/Sox rivalry.
5. Good Luck. Finding. Your Chair. Lebron
Good ole King James and Van Pelt.
6. The Perfect Show
Love the old Dan Patrick/Kenny Mayne spots!
7. Yahtzee!!
8. The Conditioning Coach
How can you not laugh at Richard Simmons?
9. Slumps
10. Three of a Kind
I’m sure I’m leaving some great spots out, but all of these really crack me up. They never seem to run out of ideas up there in that ESPN creative department. Post any other funny spots here in the comment section!
